  1. Oh god i had forgot about the haggis are they as vicious as a pepperoni Kay, you have obviously never tried to get a live haggis out of a purse net. It's a bloody nightmare i tell you. But the kids love steamed haggis, so i do it so as not to let them down.... One of lives little chores Matt
  2. I shoot off sticks, but only on ranges under yards ish. After that its abit wobbley TBH. Better off the bonet of the landy with the bipod. It not about being easier, its about guaranteeing a humane kill..Which is after all what we all want..
  3. Some of his definitions ring truer today than they did when he wrote them, so here are a few of my favourite ones. Apologies are seldom of any use. Contempt is a kind of gangrene, which if it siezes one part of the character it corupts all the rest by degrees. Excise a hateful tax levied on comodities. Guest a man who stays for a week with another and makes him a slave for a week. Pension pay given to a state hireling for treson to his country. Patron commonly, a wretch who supports with insolence, and is paid with flattery. Hope is itself a species of happiness and
  4. A dog who will fetch a bone will carry a bone.... Better to wed over the mixen than over the moor.. Full cup, steady hand The higher a monkey climbs, the more he shows his tail. and another of my personal favourites.. Pone ubi sol non lucet
  5. The original post I think. So, you want to know what rifle / optic to buy. The various peeps on here can provide you with a wee bit of direction but at the end of the day you need to make your own mind up and that should / probably be based upon a couple of points. 1 - What you feel most comforatble with, which will be based upon 2 - that which you have used to shoot before (I assume rightly or wrongly) coupled with 3 - the availability / advice from your nearest respected gun dealer. If, at the end of the day you're stuck for a gundealer consider R MacLeod & Sons in Tain, Scotland
  6. Just because i'm losing, doesnt mean i've lost..
  7. Sorry to hear that bud. Matt
  8. RIP Jasper. You've done the right thing, as i said earlier, nows the time to remeber him for the right reasons.. He served you well!! Chin up and look to the future
  9. As i have allready said, its not opinion thats the problem its how its put... I suggest that if your opinion isnt worthy of debate in a constructive manner, your opinion isn't worth debating.. JMHO
  10. Lol thats a good idea!! No i have decided!! and i have just rung the vets You have done the right thing. Well done. Remeber him for the good times, not the bad times. It wil make it much easier.
  11. The other thing to be aware of, is the longer you leave it, the harder it gets. And the more likely it will repeat offend. Its like a set of balence scales of emotion tipping in or out of favour. I am afraid they never settle. I have had a terrier PTS for a similar reason. Not my fault, i tried to rescue the dog which had a bad first few years of its life. It broke the wifes heart. It almost was schitzo... Luvely one minute, evil the next. Matt
  12. I have had him for 8 years now! and he has just got worse and worse! he has never actually gone for me but if you try and tell that dog off or stand up to it! it will go for you! and grawl and i usually have to just back down scares me a little sometimes Gona miss the grumpy b*****d!! I think unfortunately you know the answer, and need support to go through with it. You have made the right choice. It is not fair on the animal or your family to leave the situation as is. Regards Matt
  13. Go back at night and shine a lamp about? If theres still none about, yep somethings changed.. Matt

Just paid and on my way out, when some one stops me and asks if i would like to joint the leauge against cruel sports or soummit like that. Now this isn't that strange.....you might think...... Except that i've been out this morning and i'm dreesed in le chamaeu wellies, seeland beeter trousers, complete with blood stains, and a Harkilla Anaboda jumper...... You think they would research their target audience a bit better. A simple "have you been drinking lass?? answered the que

    ghosts

    Blimey Kay. I'm bit sober for that.... However, our house is meant to be haunted..never seen it though. The previous owner died in it. The next door neighbour has a ghost though. When they built an extention, the ghost could no longer find the front door, so knocked on the window where the door used to be..When they looked, no one there. Their 4 year old daughter also said to her mum one day, "who was that nice man sat on my bed last night"...she nearly has a fit..
  16. And how, may I ask did you come accross that..looking for a few xmas presents for the team maybe???
  17. The opinion is not the problem, its how its made. IMHO
  18. Considering the coments made, that what quite a polite request snappy. But thats what we come to expect from a valued, experienced, member.... Surely not too much too ask eh? Matt
  19. well i havent laughed so much for ages at a thread Going to bed now. Run out of Grouse agian... night all Maty
  20. You lot must be pissed or summit I've got haggis kits in the garden.. I'd take the picture if it weren't dark. Or is it me thats pissed, hang on, ill check the bottle.... :sick: :sick: :sick: No your safe... It's me
  21. And of course, the bullet type and weight would be taken into consideration. Even within calibres
  22. I'm with john on the Opticrons. I have 10x42 high resolution.. My dad had them before me, cost him 2-300 quid 10 years ago. Great quality, very in all light conditions. It would take alot of money to see any difference .. Matt
